My point is that this is a circular argument.We do not have an independant
stand-alone
source of Ankhesenamun's DNA. Hawass is making it sound like we do. All we have
is the
maternal DNA not yet extrapolated from the fetus.
So there is nothing concrete to compare the fetal maternal DNA to.

(Oh for a laden hairbrush labelled with Ankh's name from Tut's tomb...)
